Here is a link to a very recent review on the therapeutic values of curcumin/turmeric.

Most of us are aware of these benefits and of course have been using turmeric as a food additive for ages.
Here is a dramatic announcement by Divya Gandhi in today's issue of the Hindu online.

It is dramatically captioned as well, 'Turmeric, a recipe for trouble too?'
In my opinion, Ms Gandhi is reading too much into the doubtlessly interesting research findings.
Think of the following:

Prologue:
The very large span in seven of the eight aishvaryas (as different from corresponding siddhis which men attain through sadhana) that Bhagavan possesses is indicated in sloka 90 of the Sri Vishnu Sahasranama, along with its significance to the cosmic creation play. Bhagavan is of course Vishnu and Vyapaka, a great spanner of extremes. This sloka has 12 names in it, numbering 839 to 850.
839. Bhagavan is anu: the very first, very minute singularity that was created by his srshtisankalpa. (animaa)
840. He is brhat, huge, the vast expanse of all his creation. (mahimaa)

The ultimate Sacrifice.

The vulture had casually watched as a fruit from that free fell down. A wild goat ate it and died. Its flesh tasted good.
This saintly looking man who came by was looking at the fallen goat and the vulture gorging bits of it, with great compassion. Did he understand its great hunger? Did he know how the goat had met its end?
God, is that another fruit being brought down by the breeze?
Vultures do not eat fruit.
But this one swooped down on the fruit and devoured it. And fell dead.
The man was in tears. He understood the ultimate sacrifice.
